Any time soon -- know now -- a change our petition is growing just almost by the mid eighty's keep CA tally up there. All skated to reports this morning that a German athlete not a medalist. Has failed a drug test in fact it's the first evidence of doping that we've seen at the Olympics do we know anything about this alleged -- Not much what we do know that it's good news -- this is the first incident of doping that we've seen. In the Olympics so far the bad news of course is. That the German Olympic Committee reported that one of its athletes failed to what's called her AAA sample -- take a couple of samples of blood. They're now testing her B sample we don't know exactly who this athlete is we do know that they've failed. And obviously the repercussions are pretty serious if they do. There are reports there -- not confirmed about who this -- is but we're not gonna go into that right now. There are sometimes false positive so. Maybe this is not really doping scandal but we'll probably -- the next couple hours are well -- coming up -- today a long list of events today Alpine skiing curling speed skating of course. The hockey semifinal match today between. Team USA's -- in the Canadian team. So that's got was to be Kate you know a lot of our attention -- -- -- a couple of hours but I understand -- Matt that you have a new passion. Thanks for your time in Sochi there what is this quitting that's going. Quitting is the art of bursting through anything you can Quinn -- Clinton -- used -- right there that's winning it's the bursting through something it's aimed of course after Johnny Quinn who famously took that picture at the start of the games in -- -- out. He was stuck in the bathroom naked without a towel or phone. The door was jammed he couldn't get through he was in their for an hour. So -- -- that are deal above -- doesn't stay in the bathroom alone. Bob senator burst through the door that's what he did. It climbed out of there are gingerly got -- towel. Told folks that he broke in the door down and this picture just became viral re tweeted. Tens of thousands of times -- -- means -- where. And now there is the new hash tag quitting everybody's using -- you can. Quinn a bottle of why they can -- an envelope became clear and a bag of chips anything you want and even at the University of North Texas is all the moderate. Have now built a monument to quitting the lie that -- that the next -- -- Join us is gonna say that you could actually watched Johnny -- tomorrow night and something that is not breaking something down -- that is. The four men bobsled. He's part of team USA two and they're gonna take the ice. -- going eighty miles an hour down. An -- -- -- as exciting as breaking regular well look forward that will also for the -- for -- edition I'm sure that's going to be time anytime -- now I still weather but it is budgeted because -- that we -- in with you were chasing -- right down history. Yes. Well it they're still here I think still staging protest but you know given what's going on -- he had. I think some of the focus shifted away from from their political activism in more towards there but. We're still keeping an eye on them if something happens major wolf of course -- you now. We certainly appreciate that the time of the inside ABC's -- governance OT Matt banks. Well -- literate world obviously still buzzing over the results of yesterday's women's figure skating with Russia's Anna-Lena outside -- Kia. Taking the gold medal over Korea's Kim -- now. -- -- -- joining us on the -- -- Christine Brennan USA today's sports columnist and ABC news contributor -- -- -- with us in your column today. You -- some pretty shocking details about the figure skating judges. Yet and -- no shot at getting what ticketed but there -- currently. Remember Alec daddy -- -- -- -- look at but it. What -- -- that won't ever be able I didn't by the judges now at an amateur judging but. That -- -- marked by security job one. Ukrainian guard number two last night during out of. In 1998 in Nagano he actually -- The Canadian judge trying to work a deal with -- We're like yeah -- -- the Ukrainian skater actually the competition.

One of the judges but even made it more important in deciding -- -- Court she -- a -- have been built up over the double.

That by itself doesn't mean anything because -- got program on the court and good reentry might source spirit and I've got another call but coming up got a lined up about sweater but they do it or not would not -- government competition. But that -- carried out -- -- Italian. And you're younger. We didn't want to what are up quite better -- audit score which have been I don't know -- -- now. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- be could be a -- and big -- the point here is bad. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Now the program important -- court made Italy -- -- aren't -- damaging your big ticket -- -- junior. Beat beat you. I incredibly -- older mature gators in that mark and that only score at unthinkable that she would win that. And again that are currently -- part of the comfort station. And -- -- -- -- the color other. They're eating guilt transition interpretation. And that quite every door and talk there's no way it could be ahead of either of our organic him -- the -- Which is which is why the conversation has certainly exploded.

Well on the -- now or join of the fountain which congress Meehan Chris Cook Chris glad that -- today. It is an exciting day for the hockey world this game is the rematch -- between ten gold medal game -- not. This isn't going to be terrific hockey game. -- double teams are playing very good hockey. Put them -- needed a favorite in the terminal look we played very well the -- they defeated Finland and the one under the old -- -- But it's covered in that is very targeted -- very I'd be carried out. And these players are -- or they really want to win that gave. -- -- -- players against each other and teammate Perkins he made particular factor that in addition to the intensity of the energy level. The -- the the Americans have been the most potent team and it turns up by the Canadians. Their -- have struggled -- powder that continuing today. Well you might get -- -- turn around a little critters and hitting its stride but certainly be your basement. He'd better look he took part of the tournament you know that he was built not opinion about the American players are built -- be -- -- important probably still a threat a probably especially. They were figured there'd be tripling of the larger -- their prisoners or their -- community -- So your regular credit to a statement that they any kind of force vote happened here in Canada loaded weapon itself Bart and you're talking about or -- or line. Three perspective very acquainted being created though the vertical branding but penalized -- -- just certainly part of that -- If you -- -- coming together becoming another rec time is what it -- in my final -- needed a hero builders.
